It's the Job of My Dreams, but I'd Have to Write a Cover Letter, So Nevermind

I recently interviewed for a pretty interesting sounding organisation. They set me up with a written test and seven (7!!!) interviews with various folks. Everyone seemed to like me, I was getting great feedback. The recruiter had even asked for my earliest start date.

They set me up in the eighth and final interview with the SVP. The night before the interview I received an email saying that they loved chatting with me but were puling the job off the market, and I might hear back in March or April when they're hiring again.

I have never had my time wasted so egregiously. I have increasingly little patience for the hiring process.

I had a similar experience.

Multiple interviews, I did a technical coding test for them in my free time. I even received verbal feedback from HR that they wanted to proceed and would be sending a formal offer.

The formal offer kept being delayed and they ended up pulling the position. What a waste of everyone's time.
